Summary

Description
English: Sea surface microlayer as a biochemical microreactor

(I) Unique chemical orientation, reaction and aggregation (Carlson et al., 1993).
(II) Distinct microbial communities processing dissolved and particulate organic matter (Sieburth et al., 1983).
(III) Highest exposure of solar radiation drives photochemical reactions and formation of radicals (Zafiriou, 1986).
